EP 25 & 26- It hurt when Hongdou was leaving. I couldn't bear to see her leaving. I feel for Yao. He was completely heartbroken. I was same heartbroken as him. I feel when Nana was crying while eating rice noodles alone. Both Damai and Hongdou leaving. It hurt a lot to us, same for her.

I know all the Youfeng yard tenants will leave someday. They are not the residents of the village. They have their own goal, own ambitions. Reaching that is a happy ending for them. They need to go outside to get that. But I can't just bear to see them leaving.

it's astonishing that, how this drama used so many themes in it. You will find your life story in this drama. There is hardly anyone who can't relate himself/herself with at least one of the stories of the drama. Incorporating so many themes and still making it so fun to watch. This is top notch screenwriting.

And the drama keeps getting better and better. After 18 episodes, you will love it 2x or 3x more.

I don't know. Viki is showing ep 19 and ep 20 to be released on Wednesday. I hope they release ep 19-23 quickly. But the chances are very low. Worst case, due to Chinese holidays, they might lag behind more in subtitling episodes.

I can't believe we have to wait till Wednesday to get the ep 19 and ep 20 subbed. wth is that? It's frustrating.

Yeah, I also saw that in ep 25. I also just noticed, she is in the cover picture of the drama (sitting beside Damai) She must be an important character in this drama. So, there is a high possibility she is the new tenant.

Ep 26 preview- Any idea who might be the new lady when Hongdou was leaving? Is she a new tenant of the yard?

Typical chinese drama trailer, unlike any kdrama trailer. Chinese drama trailers always spoil the main story of the drama. Also, the ending credits have a lot of spoilers. A good thing is, from the trailer we can at least guess this drama has a happy ending.

Its's okay to not be okay, check this if you still haven't watched it

Hometown chachacha is similar to this. But its not the same. Hometown CCC doesn't have too many emotional moments like this drama, also dialogues and screenwriting are better in Meet Yourself. Hometown CCC focuses more on romance, and best thing it has the same happy vibe and good feeling atmosphere just like this drama. Its a must watch.

Liu Yifei used to be popular, one of the most popular in China. But she was not regular in China after the initial success. She went more into movies, then Hong Kong and Hollywood industry. But Seven Tan gained a lot of fanbase in the recent years.

Yes, perfect casting. All the castings are great.
I got my supporting character ranking ready. 1. Damai 2. Grandma 3. Nana 4. Aunt Gui 5. Hu

Well, let's not say bad things about that drama here. Their fanbase won't like it. Actually, it's not a bad drama if your expectation is not high. I got hugely disappointed but some people liked it. You might give that a try, but don't expect too much. Maybe then you can enjoy it more.
I agree with your comments, fanbases and marketing play a huge role in the drama success. If you watch more, you get to know more and distinguish the dramas which actually are good and worth watching.

Who is your favorite supporting character in this drama? Damai is my favorite.

Most probably Flight to You was released in much bigger broadcasting station. They invested a lot for the drama. They might have huge promotional marketing. But Meet Yourself, you can see there is no promotion. Also, I think Seven Tan is more popular than Liu Yifei to the younger generation. She has a huge fanbase. So that could also be a reason.
Don't think too much about these rankings. Those ranking do not matter. There is no comparison between these two dramas. Plotwise, Flight to You is a total mess, one of the worst you can see. Even the good acting and production team can't save you if the plot is a mess.

Well, let the watchers decide what they should rate. There will be always some watchers who give low ratings to everything. It is upto you what you should rate.

Its a 10 for me, and I hardly give any drama a 10 rating.
:D, I've also become a fan of Damai character. When I first saw this character, I thought she is a weird character, and I won't be liking her. But the actress made this character an adorable one to us. You can't help but root for her.

If you are watching the drama, DON'T FORGET to give a rating to this drama. This way the drama will be recognized by more people. This drama certainly deserves a much better rating and much more recognition.

Episode 22 was released. But only 17 episodes are with English subtitles. About the spoilers, I would suggest don’t think about romance. Or don’t wonder about would it worth your time. Just start watching. Everyone who watched this loved it. It might become one of the best dramas for you.
About the romance spoilers, I can only say off course romance is there, and romance was developed in a very natural way. Romance development is some way better than some very good romantic dramas.
